How To Reduce Translation Costs Without Sacrificing Quality? Nordic-Baltic Translation Company Baltic Media^®

How Can You Save Money With Translation?

There are a number of ways to reduce translation costs, including:

• • Use a translation memory tool (TM): A TM is a software tool that stores previously translated text. When you translate a new document, the TM can be used to automatically translate segments of text that have already been translated in the past. This can save a significant amount of time and money, especially if you have a lot of repetitive content to translate.
  • Use AI assisted machine translation (MT): MT is a type of software that can translate text from one language to another automatically. MT has improved significantly in recent years, and it can be a good way to save money on translation costs for less critical documents. However, it is important to have machine translations proofread by a human translator to ensure that they are accurate.
  • Use a translation agency: A translation agency can help you to manage your translation projects and find the best translators for your needs. Translation agencies often have discounts for large projects, and they can also help you to save money on translation costs by using a TM or MT.
  • Prepare your source content: Before sending your content to a translator, make sure that it is well-written and free of errors. This will make it easier for the translator to understand and translate your content, and it will also help to reduce the overall cost of the translation.

Here are some additional tips for reducing translation costs:

• Use a translation-friendly format: When creating your source content, use a translation-friendly format. This means using simple language, avoiding jargon, and avoiding complex formatting.
• Create a translation style guide: If you have a specific style guide for your content, provide it to your translator. This will help to ensure that the translation is consistent with your brand voice and style.
• Get feedback from your target audience: If possible, have your translation reviewed by members of your target audience. This can help to identify any errors or cultural faux pas before the translation is finalized.

By following these tips, you can reduce the cost of your translation projects without sacrificing quality.

All this is offered by the Baltic Media^® translation agency, so that you have the opportunity to save on translation costs

For translation of your content we use CAT (computer-assisted-translation) tools to ensure that you get the best possible translation solution, which is cost-effective and of high quality.

To reduce translation costs for our clients, we use AI-assisted machine translation integrated into CAT tools, completed by a professional translator and proofreader.

Our human translators use CAT-tools (computer-assisted translation tools) allowing to create a translation memory for future use, Text Editor software, style guides and glossaries that help us to maintain consistent terminology.

CAT tools allow us to analyse your texts to find the parts of a source text, that have been translated before. To lower the costs and speed up the translation process, we use Translation Memory (TM) that improves consistency of style and terminology. So, CAT technologies decrease turnaround time and time-to-market.

We save the memory of your translations to avoid duplicate work in the future. Translation memories (TMs) will enable you to save money across your documents and projects.

Your savings may be as high as 70%.

Please note that translation memory and CAT tools are not the same as machine translation with no human involvement (Google etc). Read more about our machine translation with post-editing: Machine Translation Post-editing
